Driving To Roche Harbor

If you’re leaving from the US, Anacortes is going to be your destination before boarding the San Juan Island ferry. After disembarking the ferry, Roche Harbor is a short, 20-minute drive through rural farmland and forests.

Ferry Reservations

Be sure to check the ferry schedule to find out what options you have for the trip over to the island. MAKE A RESERVATION IN ADVANCE TO ENSURE YOUR PREFERRED SAILING TIME. Also, keep in mind that you don’t want to miss the boat, so be sure to show up at least 30 minutes prior to the scheduled departure time so as not to lose your reserved space.

Be sure to check the ferry schedule and familiarize yourself with the reservations process. It is strongly recommended to make ferry reservations in advance if you plan to drive your car on the ferry.

Parking at the Anacortes Ferry Terminal

During the summer months the ferry wait on weekends can be two hours or more, so many people decide to drive to the Anacortes ferry terminal, park at the terminal, and then walk on to the ferry. Shuttles and taxis run throughout the day from Friday Harbor (disembarkation) to Roche Harbor.
